Meeting information!! 6 Our sponsors 6 Presidents Message Dear ZNA Potomac members: I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity to serve as your President. I will try to live up to the high standards of this club and will try to have meetings that are informative and educational. We are going to try and get a newsletter out to you by the first of each month, so you can plan for the upcoming activities. We had a nice and informative meeting in September at Jim and Carolina North s home. We were not able to get the newsletter out, so not many members knew about the meeting. We did post the information to the new web site: www. znapotomac.org. Jim arranged for Richard Carlson to be the guest speaker on the topic of Winter and your pond. Mr. Carlson has agreed to do his presentation again at another meeting. We have photos on the new web site, of the meetings, ponds, and koi treatment. Please check out the web site for schedules and photos of activities. Jim North is our web master and has done an excellent job. We are beginning to receive s through the web site, so I will be looking for volunteers to form a committee to help address questions and requests for assistance from potential club members. The web site provides us much greater visibility in the community and will benefit us and other hobbyists with a more diverse exchange of information and lessons learned. Please step up and assist you fellow hobbyists. We need members from Maryland and Virginia. Next meeting is 10/22/06 and will be a Pond Tour hosted by some of our members. We will start the day at 2:00 at Vienna Aquarium. After allowing time to ensure that everyone has arrived we will proceed to the first pond. We will basically caravan to the ponds and end up at Meadowlark Gardens. We would like everyone to bring their favorite finger food to share at the Gardens. I will provide water and sodas. Meadowlark is one of several places I have been in contact with as possibilities for next years show. I am currently the Show Chairman, however, this is not and never has been a One Man Show, I need assistance in the planning and executing of the Show plan. Volunteer now and help where you would like to help. Together we make a difference, Mike Frady Goshiki Next Meeting/ Pond Tour October 22!!! See page 6 for more details
